For the first time Haslingfield are joining in the Keep Britain Tidy Great Spring Clean initiative.
We need teams of volunteers to help. As well as litter picking, we plan to ‘clean up’ certain areas within the village, e.g. the playground.
Other suggestions for areas that need attention are very welcome. Teams will be provided with gloves, litter-pickers and bin-bags (supplied by SCDC), a few hi-vis waistcoats will also be available.
Or just come along to the Village Hall from either 9.30 am or 2.30 pm on the 7th April. The Village Hall will be open from 9.30 to 11.00 am and 2.30 to 4.30 pm.
The Keep Britain Tidy Campaign runs an annual nationwide event, The Great British Spring Clean – for the second year running Barrington is taking part. Haslingfield villagers have been invited to join the Barrington team to help clean Barrington Hill on Friday 22nd March.
If anyone from the village want to help out on Friday 22nd March and wants to start the hill clean from Haslingfield please let Mick Norman know and he will bring some picking stuff over from Barrington. Otherwise please meet at the Barrington Village Hall at 09 30 am.

A reminder that East West Rail are seeking feedback to their consultation on the proposed rail section between Bedford and Cambridge. There are five routes being considered – we encourage you to read the information provided and give your feedback at www.eastwestrail.co.uk/haveyoursay before the deadline passes on Monday 11th March 2019.
There is a planned power cut in parts of Haslingfield between 8:30-16:30 on 12th/13th March. This forms part of essential maintenance to replace wooden poles and power lines along the High Street and Harston Road.
Households affected will have received a notification.
4-11 March: UK Power Networks have advised that they will be undertaking upgrade work on the overhead lines in various locations along the High St / Harston Rd requiring some traffic control measures.
Concerns have been raised locally that the 75 bus service is being withdrawn. Cambs County Council have, however, confirmed that this is incorrect and it is the contract for this service that is expiring. Apparently bus operators have already submitted their applications as part of the re-tendering process and County Councillors are expected to vote on this in March (date tbc). Previous advice was that they expect to maintain services in the short term. The Parish Council has, however, taken this opportunity to write to our assigned County Councillors to both point out the value of this service to its users and seek their reassurance that it will continue.
Councillors are urging communities to have their say on proposed routes a new railway line between Cambridge and Oxford may take across South Cambridgeshire.
Routes for consultation published by East West Rail include options that could include a new station near Cambourne or Bassingbourn. To find out more about the Cambridge to Oxford railway proposals and routes for consultation, visit https://eastwestrail.co.uk/haveyoursay
Public consultation will run from 28 January to 11 March 2019.
